I created this card during my regularly scheduled, Saturday crafting class, which are always amazing! I will admit, I don’t think I’ve utilized this beautiful stamp set enough.

Sunflower Easel Card
Hello, all. I’ve got another easel card here, and I’m loving it! I also love how the stamped impressions in white look beautiful on the beige cardstock. Altenew’s Dancing Sunflowers are so beautiful and big – just one takes up most of the panel. I incorporated some additional leaves and pulled out my copics toContinue reading “Sunflower Easel Card”
Flower Wreath With Die Cuts
I purchased this die set on a whim. It wasn’t something I had on my wish list, or ever took a second look at.

I wasted about 3 other panels before I decided to useContinue reading “Die Cut Flower Ink Blending”

Hello fellow crafters and welcome back. For this post I’ll be sharing my card for Altenew’s July Challenge.
